ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage (New vs. Updates)

There is no difference in that example, as they both require running the store gauntlet, which as stated will include a UIWebView sniff-and-tell.

But to know for sure, you'll need to forego the opinions of other devs here and ping support directly via the contact us link below.

Hey derekfromcalgary,

My understanding is that NEW APPS means new apps that are submitted to the ap store with a new bundle idm ew SKU, and new Apple ID. This flow will not accept submissions of new apps that use UIWebView as of April 30, 2020.

"App updates" assume that an app already exists in the app store (with a Bundle ID, SKU, Apple ID), and so updates (new builds to this app) wil be allowed up the December 2020.

Your understandings and assumptions are correct!

The local project uses wkwebview, the global search does not have uiwebview, the submitted build version is rejected, and the email prompts itms-90809: the deprecated API no longer accepts the new application using uiwebview. On the contrary, using wkwebview can improve security and reliability. Learn more (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiwebview). What should I do? Urgent!

I too have the same exact case , remove all uiwebview references and replaced them by wkwebviews which are working fine . The submitted build got rejected and the email stated : "itms-90809: the deprecated API no longer accepts the new application using uiwebview. On the contrary, using wkwebview can improve security and reliability. Learn more (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiwebview)." What should be done now? Its really urgent

Getting the same error, this helped for me:

Please let me know on urgent basis.

I just got the following from Apple:

I understand that this is deprecated for new apps in 4/2020 and for updated apps in 12/2020. This is NOT a new app.

We have got this message many times before. New apps have to have this completed by April 2020, Updated Apps by December 2020.

To us this is an updated App. It has been in Test Flight for over a year and we updated date it about every month. We use a different a unique app bundle for promotion to the App Store. I don't know why.

The only thing I can see that we did differently was we needed a new provisioning profile. But that shouldn't mean it is a "new" app.

What criteria does Apple use to indicate whether an app is "new" or "updated".

This was just updating an app in Test Flight for testing. I think this is a mistake.

We REALLY need to start testing the app. How can I ask Apple abou this?

>What criteria does Apple use to indicate whether an app is "new" or "updated".

Not sure how this is a question, frankly, but got to be if the bundleID has seen the store before, definitely.

Same for me
